摘要:
A refrigerated merchandiser (10) includes a cabinet (20) defining an interior product display space (100) and a refrigeration unit (50) is disposed in operative association with the interior product display space in a compartment (55) beneath the lower deck (24). An opening in the lower deck provides an air return inlet (102) establishing a flow passage from the interior product display space (100) to the compartment (55) beneath the lower deck. A cover (120) includes a top plate member (122) disposed superadjacent the return air inlet and a downwardly extending peripheral side flange (124) disposed about the periphery of the top plate member (122). A plurality of air intake ports (125) are provided in the peripheral side flange (124). The lower deck (24) has a recessed upper surface (124C) facing the product display space (100). A grille plate (130) extends across the air return inlet.
摘要:
Hydrogels intended for orthopedic applications, including repair and regeneration of cartilage, bone, joint surfaces and related tissues, must possess greater strength and toughness than hydrogels used in soft tissue repair. A hydrogel formulation is provided which has high strength, toughness, a suitable mechanical modulus and low equilibrium hydration. It may also have controlled porosity or degradation time. It can be made to polymerize in situ with high (“good” to “excellent”) adherence to target tissue or surfaces. A preferred formulation for forming such gels comprises 40 to 80% by weight of a low-molecular weight polar monomer and 30 to 10% of a hydrophilic macromeric crosslinker.

Gel-forming macromers including at least four polymeric blocks, at least two of which are hydrophobic and at least one of which is hydrophilic, and including a crosslinkable group are provided. The macromers can be covalently crosslinked to form a gel on a tissue surface in vivo. The gels formed from the macromers have a combination of properties including thermosensitivity and lipophilicity, and are useful in a variety of medical applications including drug delivery and tissue coating.
摘要:
Systems, devices, and methods for a novel computing device and method for enabling users to receive data regarding specific events based on the date, location, and artist performing at the event. A user can then select the desired event based on the criteria provided by the computing device. The user can determine which event reservation he or she wishes to join from a selection of event reservations already established by other users.

Optimizing data rates for video services on a broadband network. Different data rates can be delivered to a subscriber premises depending on the size of the display screen connected to a set-top box, the type of content being requested, or whether there is real-time viewing. Therefore, the data rate can be optimized to maximize the number of video streams that can be delivered to any one subscriber without causing a perceived reduction in video picture quality.
摘要:
A method for optimizing data rates for video services to a subscriber that includes receiving an indication of whether incoming video signals to a set-top box corresponding to the subscriber are being recorded, receiving an indication of whether video content corresponding to the video signals being recorded is being simultaneously viewed by the subscriber, and reducing a data rate for storing the video content that is not simultaneously being viewed by the subscriber.
摘要:
A method for providing video content to a subscriber while minimizing transmission channel capacity that includes acquiring information corresponding to factors contributing to a perceived picture quality at a display device in communication with a set-top box, compressing video content based on the acquired information, and transmitting over a local loop the compressed video content at a bit rate based on the acquired information, the bit rate corresponding to the perceived picture quality of the video content capable of being provided by an ensemble comprised of the display device, the set-top box, and the local loop.

摘要:
In a resource manager, a method for managing bandwidth allocation to a plurality of subscribers utilizing opportunistic bandwidth including tracking a bandwidth utilization on multiple links, receiving a request for services along one of the links, and selecting a video data rate on the one of the links that meets available bandwidth.
